A BIG YELOCIPEDE.
A Novel Multicycle That May Play
an Important Part,

People in many London thorough
fares must have been considerably as
tonished yesterday by the appearance
OF strange looking vehicle speeding
! swiftly along, propelled by ten riders
who sat all in row like the crew of an
elongated University rowing boat. This
| novelty in means of locomotion was on
its way to Aldershot, where, by author
ity of Ii. war Office, it will be tested
with view to its adoption of the four
ln-hand quadric ,cle, and it is intended
for the rapid transport OF infantry from
one point to another.
When fully manned it carries twelve
men, who can take with them if ordered
light baggage crit or ammunition
wagon. The advantages of mounting
men thus in single file instead of two OF
four abreast are, fret Of all, that the
machine Is more manageable, and sec
ond, that, power for power, it presents
less surface to strong headwind one
of the obstacles most difficult for
cyclists to overcome.
The speed that can be got out of such
/ a machine by ten or twelve moderate
riders is quite surprising. Ten miles an
hour would be considered low average
rate, and sixteen have been easilv &C
compliShed. 1t is said to be affected
less tuan any other velocipede by any
rouganess in the thoroughfares, and it
passes over newly-metaied bits of road
With comparative ease. All the tires
are wired on the Otto principle, so that
they cannot be greatly damaged by cuts
from sharp stones. For men mounted
thus there is, of course, considerable
saving of labor, and probably other adj
vantages might be claimed from a mil
itary point of view. These, however,
are points that will be fully tested at
Aldershot during the next week or so.
Yesterday machine manned by ten
riders, who did not take their baggage
van with them, set out from Messrs.
Singers. warehouse, On Holborn Via
duct at clock, when the currents of
traffic were running strong in opposite
directions. The whole control and steer
ing OF the machine is in the hands of
on. man, and he yesterday had no ap-
parent difficulty in managing it, even
where the thoroughfare was most
crowded. 1t turned easily enough in
less space than a hanson would have
needed. and threaded its way among
numberless vahicles without mishap,
though the drivers of cabs and omni-
buses neglected their own business to
gaze at the strange apparition, as it sped
past them. The crew in charge of this
multicycie are all trained volunteers,
who will be able to execute any military
vancouver that may be demanded of
them with intelligence. and, altogether,
the experiment is one in which military
men take lively interest. This latest
novelty in velocipedes has not yet been
submitted to the agents of any CONT
mental power, and will be subjected to
to its first practical trial for military
purposes at Aidershot.-London Daily
NetCS.
